We were blessed with a beautiful couple, perfect weather and the most amazing forest ever! Love was truly in the air. The ceremony was held at the church “Très-Sainte-Trinité” in Rockland. All the couple, family and wedding party photos were taken at a private farm near Rockland. The reception was held at the Hammond Golf Club.

Congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for being sooooooooooo in love! It was effortless to capture what you were feeling that day for each other. It is beautiful and so rewarding to photograph a couple that are truly perfect together!

Not only do the cakes look fabulous, they are the best cakes we have even tasted. Seriously, try these cakes, you will remember this mouth watering experience for the rest of your lives!!! This on-location session was photographed in their kitchen in Dunrobin, Ontario. Check out their website at The Girl With the Most Cake.

So much preparation and effort goes out into planning weddings. It takes a year or more to plan everything… up to the little details that make each weddings unique. We are proud to be a part of this process and to help our couples get as much information possible. Planning is the key! We are here to help as this is not our first rodeo. Since 1982, our studio has photographed well over 1300 weddings! We put so much effort in what we do and continue to offer a wide range of printed albums, photos and wall size signature collection portraits! Weddings are rewarding to photograph and give us an incredible feeling of creative satisfaction!(especially when the couples get to see the photos for the first time).

Martine and Marc’s wedding is a perfect example of why we love our job! When we found out how Marc proposed, we knew we had to documents their love story. This beautiful, sweet, totally in love, adorable couple gave us “Carte Blanche” to create beautiful memorable images for them. They had 100% confidence in us and we took the time to get to know them, and find out what style of photography they loved. They choose the amazing Le Belvédère in Wakefield as their wedding venue. The beautiful flowers and decorations were done by Wedecor.

To Martine and Marc: Your vows were so beautiful and emotional, there was not a dry eye in the audience (including us, at one point, we were hiding our tears behind the camera). The photography session during the cocktails went so well. It was so easy to capture the love you have for one another. Your wedding party was awesome and we loved photographing your families. Fast forwarding to the reception, the speeches were memorable, heartfelt and hilarious!!! Who knew your childhood memories could be so entertaining! Your siblings did a fine job at painting us a clear picture! You are blessed because you are surrounded by families and friends that love you so much. Congratulations! (P.S.: To the bridesmaid who had the same cell phone we did… sorry for accidentally taking it during the whole reception, LOL…We are so happy we realized it before we left!)

This extreme cold spell we have been having is almost over (we hope)!! Some warmer winter weather would be a nice change and would get us photographing outdoor’s again!!! Outdoor winter photography can look absolutely amazing and worth the effort. At our photography studio, we can warm up between outdoor locations making it easier to wear your favorite dress without freezing!!! This outdoor engagement session with Jessica and Elias was so fun and the light snow falling made it look almost magical. We finished the session at the Camelot Golf course just across from our studio to get the beautiful evergreens in the background. We can’t wait to post images from their wedding! Enjoy this winter magic photo preview!

There is no better way to start this new 2018 year then by posting this amazing wedding that represents what our studio’s photography style is all about! Amanda and Adam gave us carte blanche to create wonderful memories to help them relive their wedding day over and over again. This couple’s beauty, elegance and kindness made this wedding day unforgettable. They tied the knot at St. Anthony of Padua Church on Booth Street in Ottawa. The family and wedding party photos were taken around the Fairmont Château Laurier to feature neutral backdrops to match the couple’s grey and cream colour scheme. More wedding photos were done at Major Hill’s park to feature greenery and the iconic Parliament in the background. The reception was held in Stittsville at the NeXT Restaurant. We hope you enjoy this wedding photography highlight!
